Technical data from manufacturer or class sources · not yet verified by a person​‍​⁠​‌‍⁠⁠​​⁠⁠‌⁠⁠​‌⁠​

The TMC 7-27 series is designed with service accessibility in mind, making maintenance easier for crews. Tamrotor Marine Compressors (TMC) introduces the 7-27 series, claiming it offers more compressed air relative to its footprint than comparable models. The design, developed from the ground up, features a sleek, modern aesthetic and a compact footprint of only 0.7m². Available in a capacity range of 66-223 m³/hour, the 7-27 series operates at pressures between 7-13 bar and temperatures ranging from 0-55°C. TMC emphasizes the series' efficiency, energy-saving capabilities, and cost-effectiveness thanks to the incorporation of "TMC Smart Air®" technology, which reduces energy consumption by at least 40-50%. This technology results in cost savings and a reduction in harmful emissions, aligning with the growing environmental consciousness of the maritime industry.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Oil separator element fouling causing oil carryover into the air system
  • Air/oil cooler fouling reducing cooling efficiency and tripping high-temperature protection
  • Inlet air filter clogging reducing delivered capacity
  • Minimum-pressure/check valve wear causing slow pressure build-up or oil carryover on start
  • Solenoid/unloader valve failure
  • Screw element bearing wear from oil contamination or low oil level

Inspection checklist

  • Discharge air temperature trend
  • Oil separator differential pressure
  • Oil level and condition (contamination, viscosity)
  • Safety/relief valve function test
  • Inlet air filter condition
  • Unloader/solenoid valve operation
  • Vibration and noise level
  • Automatic drain function on the compressor and downstream receiver
  • Drive coupling/belt alignment and condition

Service intervals

Oil changetypically 2000-4000 h, or per the specified oil type's own interval - confirm against the manual
Oil separator element replacementtypically 2000-4000 h
Air filter replacementper differential-pressure indicator, typically 500-1000 h
Safety valve function testat least annually or per class requirement
Screw element overhaultypically 20,000-30,000 h - confirm against the manual

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Oil carryover in discharge airshould stay within the manufacturer's specified limit for a well-maintained single-stage oil-lubricated screw compressor - confirm against the manufacturer's specification
Discharge temperaturesustained readings above the maker's high-temperature trip point indicate cooler fouling or low oil level - confirm against the manual

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • oil separator element
  • air filter element
  • minimum pressure valve
  • safety/relief valve
  • unloader/solenoid valve

Safety

  • Stored air pressure - isolate and vent before opening any part of the pressure system
  • Hot discharge air and compressor casing surfaces
  • Rotating drive coupling/belt guarding
  • Oil mist/carryover fire risk if the separator fails and hot air lines ignite residual oil

Class survey

Starting/working air compressors are covered under machinery survey with function tests of safety valves, low-oil-pressure/high-temperature trips, and automatic duty-compressor cut-in for maintaining receiver pressure.

Estimated lifetime: typically 25,000-40,000 hours to first major screw element overhaul for marine oil-lubricated screw compressors of this class, depending on duty cycle and air quality

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
